active listening the act of fully
hearing and comprehending the meaning of
what someone else is saying avoid
getting distracted by your own thoughts
[Music]
focus on the speaker and topic instead
[Music]
try not to interrupt the other person
[Music]
let them finish and then respond

use door openers these are phrases that
show you're interested and keep the
other person talking show that you're
listening with body language if
appropriate take notes during important
conversations paraphrase what others
have said to make sure you're both on
the same page
